my A1c moved and I cannot work out whether first time is why

Week One

Quick one. Canada here.

basics works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice that simply does not apply outside the US.

Specifics: the route I used took 15 weeks and cost roughly what I expected. The admin was worse than the cost. The thing that would have saved me the most time was knowing which document to ask for at the start.

Happy to answer questions from anyone in the same jurisdiction.

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

no question too basic, read the wiki first, then ask anyway

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

Week 22 or week 21?

u/sofia_petrescu11 points·1 year ago

Week 22 or week 21?

Disagree on that part. 98.7% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.

Titration means going slow. The 15mg is the starter, not the dose you stay on, not the dose you need to feel it.

Week 22 or week 21?

Disagree on that part. 95.1% and 96.8% on the same vial is normal.

replysharereportpermalink
u/yannick_salinas7 points·1 year ago·edited

Yeah, that is totally normal for week 23.

replysharereportpermalink
u/greta_chukwu2 points·1 year ago

Yeah, that is totally normal for week 23.

Adding to this: normal is doing more work than the comment implies.

u/aurel_boateng8 points·1 year ago

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with normal, not with what you concluded.

the first time question is not dumb

u/constipation_clubside effects3 points·1 year ago

Not to be pedantic but week one and basics are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

replysharereportpermalink
u/ruben_almeida4 points·1 year ago

Yeah, that is totally normal for week 23.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 25 weeks to accept.

replysharereportpermalink
u/ms_fragmenter3 points·1 year ago

Strongly agree. No question is dumb here.

About c/newbiequestions

The deliberately gentle community. Every question that gets an eye-roll elsewhere lives here: what does titration mean, why do I feel nothing in week two, is this normal, what is bac water, what is a COA. Rudeness is removed faster than bad questions.
